September 29, 2022 – Money for Something: How Music Funding Can Help Artists Grow Without Losing Control
Signing a label deal used to be one of the most important decisions an artist could ever make, with the potential to define careers for decades. But many often overlook that they can get many of the same benefits of a label deal without giving up ownership of their music, by pursuing alternative funding and investment opportunities. beatBread is at the forefront of this approach, providing advances from $1,000 to $2 million to artists that are repaid from a share of their streaming and airplay revenues over a period of their choosing. Artists with as few as 10,000 monthly listeners on Spotify can take advantage, and get access to capital to hire the team that's right for them and maintain control of their career while climbing the music industry ladder. In this webinar, Matthew Tilley (Head of Artist and Industry Development at beatBread) explains how this approach can benefit artists, and walk attendees through the process of applying for funding with beatBread.

December 16, 2021 – Music Copyright Needs an Overhaul – Here’s How
Thanks to the music business’ constant digital evolution, there are now endless ways for artists to make money and reach fans. And this diversity of revenue streams will only continue to expand over the next decade. MIDiA Research suggests that the opportunity for short-term growth in monetization will come from recorded music streaming and sync. Yet longer-term growth will come from UGC and social, creator tools, livestream concerts, fandom and games. Those latter categories take music into a more experiential era, where more than just the recording is monetized. However, copyright hasn’t yet caught up and current rights frameworks will struggle to encompass the complexities of music’s experiential phase — one where music is no longer just about listening, and speed of innovation far outpaces speed of the industry’s infrastructure. In this webinar, Roberto Neri, Chief Operating Officer of fast-growing music tech company, Utopia Music, and MIDiA’s Managing Director, Mark Mulligan, present their solution: the establishment of an entirely new copyright framework, titled “Creator Rights."

In this webinar, we will discuss the importance of frictionless fan experience and will cover strategies and tools to convert marketing and social buzz into monthly listeners and sales.
